The American Historical Review for April (Vol. VIII, No. 3) begins with a report of the meeting of the American Historical Association held at Philadelphia in December, 1902. The meeting, says the secretary, “was in all respects successful and satisfactory. Many members were in attendance, the programme was excellent, and there was everywhere indication of the great activity and vitality of the Association, and of the work it is doing for the promotion of historical scholarship in America. * * * The most important new enterprise undertaken by the Association was a plan for securing the publication of a series of reprints of valuable early American narratives. This plan was approved by the Council and favored by the Association.” Professor J. Franklin Jameson was chosen general editor of the series. The next meeting of the Association will be held during the Christmas holidays at New Orleans. The Quarterly hopes that a goodly number from the Southwest will attend.

The Review contains three signed articles. Gaillard T. Lapsley contributes The Origin of Property in Land; Simeon E. Baldwin writes on American Business Corporations Before 1789; and Henry E. Bourne on American Constitutional Precedents in the French National Assembly. The documents printed are: George Rogers Clark and the Kaskaskia Campaign, 1777-1778; A Letter from De Vergennes Lafayette, 1780; Portions of Charles Pinckney's Plan for a Constitution, 1787, A Letter of James Nicholson, 1803.
